Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7 review

UniFi Express 7 is a different kind of mesh kit: a cloud gateway with built-in Wi-Fi 7 that Ubiquiti sells in Whole Home WiFi packs. The spec sheet lists Wi-Fi 7 on all three bands with up to 5.7 Gbps on 6 GHz, a 10 GbE WAN port, a 2.5 GbE port, coverage of 1,750 sq ft per unit and 300+ connected users. The appeal is the software. UniFi Network includes a firewall, intrusion prevention, content and region filtering, ad blocking and a WireGuard or OpenVPN server with no monthly fee, while Ubiquiti's optional CyberSecure plan costs $99.00 per unit per year. The store page mentions placement guidance and easy mesh expansion with extra nodes. The 2-pack costs $379.00 plus a surcharge, $417.00 in total. The catch is ease of use: UniFi exposes far more settings than eero or Google, and each unit is rated for less floor area, so a large home may need three.
